Is My Coworker Possessed By A Fox?
I thought I would translate a post from the Japanese Yahoo Answers.
THE QUESTION:
A new worker, whom I’ll call Ms. Sato, started her job at my workplace this year. Her eyes look somewhat dead and her way of speaking is quite calm, so that the moment I met her, I immediately got the feeling, “This person has something spiritually wrong with her.”
Ms. Sato is a little dull, but takes her job seriously and puts effort into her work.
So one day, Ms. Sato suddenly had a fit. She cried out “WAHHHH” in an unbelievable voice and jerked her body around in inexplicable ways. It looked for all the world like she was being possessed by a fox.
What’s more, her dead eyes suddenly perked up and her body took on a ferocious pose, as if she was a beast about to attack. It was really a scary scene.
It only lasted a few seconds, but it was the kind of scene that would give people in the vicinity goosebumps and chills, or make them try to back away. Just as quickly, Ms. Sato went back to normal and said, “what’s wrong?”, remembering nothing.
It seems that although Ms. Sato is a very diligent worker, she is discharged from every office she works at for sudden fits like this.
She’s such a nice person, though. I’d say I pitied her, but after seeing the fit she had for myself I’d want to discharge her, too.
Up until now, I thought fox possession was just an old story, but I definitely imagined Ms. Sato as a beast for that second. Is this what people call fox possession?
USER ANSWERS–
Really, posting a question like this on a website like this, I don’t think a person with the proper qualifications will… well, anyway… if she’s sick, she should go to a hospital, but if this is really possession, then that will backfire…
In a place, like this forum, full of unbelievers, if I linked a site, it’d get attacked as someone’s money-making scam… so… I won’t link anything here, but…
Well, there may or may not be various places… not anything on the internet, which you can find with just a click, I don’t know about things that were just posted up, but places that have existed a long time, that you can trust…
If it really is possession, have the person herself post here, if we can’t talk with her directly, it’s kind of mean to judge her like that…
USER ANSWERS–
It’s mental illness, so talk to your boss about it!
“Is this what people call fox possession?”
Absolutely. When people fail to understand a case like this, they simply attribute it to spirits, so any number of vague things fall under this definition.
When people stop thinking there, they get taken advantage of by “mediums” who promise to solve their problems, which is how those swindlers make money.
QUESTIONER RESPONDS–
I don’t know anything about spirits, but I just felt really scared and definitely felt something spiritual was going on.
I’ve seen plenty of mental illnesses in my time, but this time it was really a totally different dimension and and I felt a chill running down my spine.
The person’s countenance and voice both changed, and I felt she had been taken over by some kind of evil spirit.
Thank you for your help.
While Googling for “fox possession” I also found an unscrupulous business in Kanagawa that claims to cure it.
